Leading with Strategic Thinking at Gillette

Via José Ignacio Sordo Galarza:

I hope this note finds you in good health and spirits!  If you recall right, almost 10 years ago, in early 2005 P&G agreed to acquire Gillette in an effort to combine many of the world’s top brands and broaden P&G’s portfolio of consumer products. P&G set a goal of generating more than $1 billion annually in combined revenue and savings within three years of merging with Gillette. ... 

Time pass by.  Last year I was blessed to meet a couple of Northwestern University Professors (Olson and Simerson) and while talking about business strategy and best in class cases, we all agree to write down about the case of the LA P&G merger with Gillette and integrate it as part of a Business Strategy book.  

As of April 13, 2015, our book will be available .  The title is “Leading with Strategic Thinking” and “our” chapter is “Driving Strategy through Structure and Process”.  This is a really nice testament of what Jorge Montoya used to say about the Latino 4F’s:   Focus, Force, Frugality and Foresee Crisis.    Here is a link to the teaser about our work.   ....
